[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 390666, member: 1233"] I am so sorry that you are having so much pain. Living in pain really hoovers. It sounds like several things are going on. I would guess some type of arthritis along with fibromyalgia. The vision issues could be migraines. Or MS is a possibility, esp with the shooting pains as those are nerve related. You NEED that MRI. Bad. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get it. I know it is hard to face this stuff. If you figure out what it is then you can treat it and possibly keep it from getting worse. One thing that may stand in your way is all that the kids need, esp from you. You have to take care of Jen because if Jen suddenly is in the hospital or, Heaven Forbid, dead, what will happen to your kids? Your oldest will not have you to be there when she ditches the guy she is dating and has to face all that hurt. Your difficult child will likely regress bigtime and she will end up with her father and it is unlikely that he would EVER get help for her unless child protection forced him somehow. How would her life be if she didn't have you to advocate for her?? If something happens to you, your kids are going to be in a world of hurt of so many types of pain they cannot all be named. So taking care of Jen when she is having really SERIOUS problems like blurry vision, forgetting where she is, shooting pain that debilitates her, etc.. because these can all be signs of life threatening problems. I know you probably will ignore me, but at least think about what I have said. I worry about you! It is really IMPORTANT to find out what this is. There are a TON of types of arthritis. They are usually divided into two main categories - rheumatoid and osteo arthritis - but they all have different symptoms. There are medications that can help. Even ones that can halt or slow the progression of the damage that is happening because the disease. Forget the fancy hair color - you are WORTH the cost of the tests and taking good care of yourself. You're worth it. [/QUOTE]
